A friend from Brazil reminded me that there are more "Americas" than just the United States.

FunkyMonkey, it is. Hawaii is the 50th state and the show was "Hawaii 5-0." Today, slang for police is 5-0.

I lived in "Hawaii T.H." (territory of Hawaii) when it became Hawaii, USA. What a party that was. Hawaii thiught 5hey would get statehood ahead of Alaska and so there was a record company label "49th State".

nimblemoon, I have often thought the US should change its name to something more interesting and stop calling themselves Americans. We are not only not the only Americans, we are not even the only North Americans.

Sometimes it seems like everything I know about Hawaii I learned from watching 12 years of Hawaii 50. I'm only half kidding...

Hawaii... stolen from the indigenous people through an insurrection that was led by oligarchs, which was then assisted by the United States Government and the United States Military.

Isaias, Do your research. Name another country anywhere in the Americas that has "America" as part of its official, legal name.

nimblemoon, But only one country with "America" actually part of its official, legal name.

Poopscooper,
Not only a sad story, but also the cause of a great deal of underlying anger. The Queen was extorted into letting it happen because her people would have been wiped out.

that's where I need to move to.
Isaias
Kitten666, your comment is very ignorant. You have spread in the world the misuse of America as equivalent of USA but it is incorrect. It will never change the fact that America is a continent. Do your research.

Just how many ways are you going to ask the same question? I've already answered this 4 or 5 times.... It's always Hawaii!!!
Canis Lupus
I weary as people of the United States just call themselves "Mericans". There are three Americas. South America, Central America and North America...the last being the United States.
